Capable of light blacksmithing and brazing work, the DS430 Chip Forge is gas fed and heats ceramic chips in which metal can be heated to red-heat for forming in jigs or leg vice and anvil work. Work can be functional metal work or decorative art pieces. The forge will heat up to 6mm mild steel bar and plate to a plastic state ready for working into curves, flats, tapers and profiles.  The forge and brazing hearths are suited for functional toolmaking and ornamental light bespoke manufacturing. Forges are extracted for heat and fumes. DS430 compliments Kingsland metal worker and MIG welder.
